With the release of The Last Wun, Gunna closes his run under Young Thug’s Young Stoner Life label. The project serves not only as a musical milestone but also as a declaration of personal reinvention—spotlighting his focus on wellness, resilience, and community.
Since his release from Fulton County Jail in 2022, Gunna has turned his attention to discipline and health. This fall, he will launch the Wunna Run 5K in Brooklyn, an event organized with NYCRUNS and his nonprofit, Gunna’s Great Giveaway. The race is free to enter and open to all, though runners are encouraged to raise funds for charities through an online platform. Registration has already opened for participants of every level.
The shift has been visible for some time. In the video for “Won’t Stop,” he highlighted his training routine, part of a larger embrace of wellness. He has also invested in companies such as Flerish, a hydration brand, and Cymbiotika, which specializes in supplements. These pursuits echo the themes woven through The Last Wun, where he reflects on perseverance in an industry defined by rapid ascents and equally swift challenges.
Music Meets Activism
The 5K also reflects his story since agreeing to a plea deal in the YSL RICO case. On the album, Gunna confronts the tension between survival and ambition, blending introspection with defiance. The Last Wun has drawn early praise, including from Fat Joe, who publicly applauded the record even as he acknowledged complicated feelings about Gunna’s earlier choices.
On a recent podcast, Fat Joe and Jadakiss credited him with bridging music and wellness in ways few artists have tried. Together, they said, the album and the run represent a broader vision of how artists can influence culture beyond the charts.
Scheduled for September 3 at 6 p.m., the Wunna Run is designed as more than a promotional event. It is an effort to reframe how celebrity can inspire community, health, and shared endurance. For Gunna, the message is plain: survival is not only a theme of his music but a lived practice. Through running, recording, and reaching out, he is redefining success—not just by records sold, but by the communities built in his wake.
